Also I noticed that a thread with a good twist, like Perle, gives much better result than Coton a Broder. See for yourself in the samples below:
Aida Sampler (Coton a Broder)
Sunday Stitch School Reference Chart Perle)
Teal Wool Tailoring Scribble Cloth
These sit nicely, and look good in variegated thread (perle).
I like the varigated perle!
ReplyDeleteSo do I. Sorry the photos are of such low quality.
DeleteThat stitch makes a nice border.
ReplyDeleteThere is something of a row of pinwheels over them, don't you think?
DeletePearl Cottons do have a lovely sheen and stitch definition which brings out the best in stitches like this!
ReplyDeletePerle will always be one of my favorite threads.
